The Paper Brief on McClynn

A paper brief has been forwarded from Rome
to Archbishop Corrigan, Of New York, an
nouncing that the Pope has dccrecd, because
of the contumacy and disobedience Of Key. Dr.
Nc Glynn to the Holy Sec, for use the seycrcst
measures in his case. The brief, which has
forty DAYS duration will not be made effective
until the middle of July, by which time il Dr.
McGlynn does not conform with the require
men,s of his priestly vow of obedience to the
instructions Of the college Of the propaganda he
will likely be placed outside the church. Not
alone will the brief effect his position as a
Catholic but it will jcopardizc the religious
standing OF others Of that creed who are his
followers. The land theories Of Mr.. George
will be pronounced vicious and opposed to the
shirt of the Catholic Church, which has always
acknowledged mans right to any property of
which he may have legimatey gained poss-
essinn. Moreover. Gcorgcism will be clas,ed
as opposed to the principles of the, Constitution
Of the United States,;n itself reason sufficient
to warrcnt according to Catholic tents, the con
dcmnation of the church. All Catholics will
be admonishcd against accepting the teachings
of George, and, if in sympathy with him, to
withdraw their mental and material support.
Those VINO refuse will be denied the sacranonts
of the church. if not visited with more severe
punishment. Should DIR, MeGlynn rclcnt he
would have to make reparation for his p St

True Enough.

The offensive epithet "scab, applied in a
dispute at East st Louis the other day, led to
a serious stabbing aHray. The word is piece
of intimidation anyway, and the less we have
of it in labor disputes the better. \ man who
wants to work has the right to take the place
of man who does not want to work without
being abused for it and community in which
this right is not recognized and supported has
no right to call itself free.

The Sunday Capital publishes the fol-
lowing:
"The President is said to have promised
Adjt. Gen. Johnston Jones of North
Carolina during his recent visit to this
city, that all the flags taken from the
Southern States during the late war
should be returned to those States at an
early date. This resolve on the part of
the President is mainly due to the instru-
mentality of Adjt Gen. Drum, thorough

from public gaze all mementoes of inter-

The future of the S. K NJ railroad
seems to be involved in good deal Of
uncertainty at present. The engineers
have been ordered to suspend operations
on the survey for the present, and the
work in forwarding the extension of the
line is at standstill Saturday special
town meeting was held at IIartand to see
If that town would vote to allow its share
in the railroad which is already construct
ed to be mortgaged. without much de-
liberation the citizens assembled, voted
by considerable majority to pass the ar
ticle. Where the funds to complete the
road are to come from is not exactly
plain. Hartland has not sufficient vol
ume of business at present to sustain the
eight miles already built, so the future Of
the line to Hartland depends on its ex-
tension. Hartland can't afford as cir
cumstances now are, to be terminal

over the running of the Augusta post
Office as will be seen by the following:
Postmaster Fowler of this city has no.
titled three of his subordinates, Henry +.
Towne, George Clough and George Smith,
that their services will be dispensed with
on and after the tenth of this month, for
the reason that the business of the office
is now comparatively slack. During the
fall, winter and spring the business of the
Post Office was rushing and the work was
done with a smaller force we understand
than ever before. These discharged en-
ployees were worked in season and out
of season, sometimes and often till mid
night, without extra pay. And they were
looking forward to the slack time for the
usual vacation accorded by the former
Postmaster to his over-worked clerks !;
and their friends, we learn, feel aggricved
that they have been treated with SO little

Professor Bell has nearly completed the
repairs upon his house made necessary by
the fire which nearly destroyed it last
winter. Professor Bell has very little oc-
casion to worry over such a misfortune
from a financial standpoint. His wife
has gee, 1000. 900 of Bell Telephone stock,
and her father has as many more, which
constitute about two-thirds of the stock
OF the company, Probably the family
will never come to want. But Professor
Bell is very much distressed by the burn
ing of his house. Next to the loss of his
wife or children, probably nothing could
have disturbed him so much. 1t was not
on account of the value of the house, al
though it was said to be worth $3.50, 900.
but it was because his library was
burned. There are not many thousands
OF books in Professor Bells library. The
number is said to be somewhere near TO-
900 volumes. But probably there never
was better private scientific library col
lected.
Professor Bell employed two of the best
bookbinders to be had in New York city.
one of them an old and experienced
English workman, and the other one of
the best German bookbinders in this
country. These two men worked for
several months in restoring the valuable
books to something like their original
condition. Many of them were burned.
Most of them were badly charred and
smoked. and all of them were soaked
with water from the fire engines. Their
work was most laborious and weari-
some one. Thousands of books were
unstitched, each page pressed carefully,
and the volume again bound, cut and
finished. Professor Bell paid these men
each $40 day during the time they
were at work. He now considers that his
library is restored to very nearly its con-
dition before the fire.-New y rk Sun.

AS general thing in yellow fever cpl
denies the cause Of death in every case is
yellow fever All the other diseases appear
to assume the character of that one II
the normal death rate, therefore, were
deducted from the actual death rate, it
would appear that the fever is much
less fatal than Ii seems to be. In Tampa, for
instance, If the number Of those who would
have died from some other disease, If the fever
did not exist were taken from the number
who have died since the fever began its work,
the mortality charged TO the account of the
fever would be considerably reduced
Desirable as doctors are in a yellow fever
epidemic, they are not 30 desirable as good
nurses. Where the nursing is good the danger
is lessened at least one-half The reason why
New Orleans has less fear Of the fever than
any other American city liable to suffer from
it Is that there are plenty Of good yellow
fever nurses to be had there, as well as doc.
tors Of experience. There is no doubt that
the fever at Tampa will be confined to that
place. Letter.

There is chain Of prairie dog towns
along the Texas and Pacific road, begin
ming west of Abilene and extending
nearly to Big Springs. The little fellows
always climb upon their hills and squat
on their hind feet to watch the train go
by. Hunters tell me it is almost impossi-
BILE to kill one Of the dogs and get his
body, so quickly does he dive into his
hole at the explosion of a gun. Ere
quently, if fatally hit, the little turnover
falls dead into his earth domicil. Men
have tried to make them come out of
their burrows by pouring great quantities
OF water in at the mouth of the hole, but
they will not emerge even at that treat
ment. Some of the villages cover five
acres of e. md, and think their terri
tory exten-s for 100 miles along my run

VALUE OF BRAN UPON THE FARM.

Professor Brown, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, at Guelph, Canada,
recently summed up the usefulness of
bran to farmers, after having carefully
considered its chemical composition.
l. Bran is a concentrated food, which,
though variable in composition, possesses
high nutrtive value.
2. Roller process bran is, on the aver
age, richer than old process bran.
3. Its excess of ash or mineral mat
tiers eminently fits it for bone building in
growing animals, and for supplementing
the lack of mineral matters in roots.
4. Its chemical composition points to the
conclusion that it is somewhat better adj
apted to the formation of fat and pro-
duction of heat than to the formation of
muscle or of milk.
8. Both its chemical composition and
its physical form adapt it admirably as a
supplementary food to be used in con-
nection with poor and bulky fodder, such
as straw and roots.
6. Its manurial or fertilizing value
alone repays its cost.
Z. By retaining and feeding the bran
upon the farm the objection to selling
the grain is partly overcome, viz, the
exhaustion of the soil, since the bran
retains most of the mineral matters which
cannot be derived from the air.-[New

FEEDING FOR LEAN MEAT.

Custom has long prompted the farmer
to feed his hogs on carbohydrates (fat-
forming foods, corn being the principal
substance used, it being supposed that
heavy weights could not be obtained
without excessive fat, but new light has
been thrown on the system in the recent
experiments by Prof. Henry of the Wis
consin experiment station, which is very
valuable to every farmer in the country
He found that by feeding to obtain the
largest proportion of lean meat not only
the health of the animals was promoted
but greater weight was obtained. He Sc
lected six pigs, and began with them
when they were 100 days old. Up to the
beginning of the trial the pigs had all
been fed alike, from the same trough,
with mixture composed of shorts, corn
meal, buttermilk and skim milk, the pigs
having been cross-bred Jersey reds and
Poland-Chinas. The pigs were divided
into two lots of three each. The first lot
(A) were fed ration composed Of 6 parts
dried blood, parts of shorts and IA parts
of sweet skim milk, by weight, while the
second lot OBJ were fed all the corn meal
they could consume. They had small
back yards for exercise, and were fed for
1876 days. Lot A consumed in the 1856
days 1902 pounds of skimI milk, 14l5
pounds Of shorts and 236 pounds of dried
blood, while lot B consumed 1890 pounds
of corn meal. OF the actual digestible
matter of the food that of lot A contained
fss pounds of matchmaking food (pro-
tein) and 1873 pounds of fat-producing
food Carbohydrates, and that of lot b
contained 1873 pounds of muscle-produc-
ing food and 1893 pounds of fat-forming
food. The weights and relative proper
tions of lean and fat on the carcasses of
each lot were: Live weight of lot A,
669i pounds; dressed weight, 54ls
pounds; external fat, $50 pounds lean
meat, pa pounds; live weight of lot B,
56lt pounds; dressed weight, 45l pounds,
external fat, 1856 pounds, and lean meat,
1874 pounds. The hogs fed for lean
meats were 10 per cent heavier when

ADDITION TO THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM.
some Of the worlds famous galleries, and the
new building makes somewhat more fitting
place. 1t stands in the upper part of Central
park From the Seventy ninth street en-
trance to the park broad road curves around
to the main entrance Of the building which
is at present only the completed section of
the southern facade and the main entrance.
The building will be two tall stories above
the basement, with 200 feet front, with a face
OF Hallowell granite and Indiana freestone,
laid in massive blocks. The entire structure
is to be as near absolutely fire proof as science
can make it. On each side of the entrance
stands an enormous block of the Indiana free
stone, weighing twelve tons, to be carved in
emblems indicating the purpose of the
museum While they were raising the first
of those stones the derrick gave way. the
stone fell and was shattered in several pieces;
so there was delay till another could be
shaped and shipped. The total cost thus far
is near $500, OOO-paid by the city.
But the lovers Of art care more for the
contents, and in these artistic New York at
last regards itself as blest, for the collection
contains some of the worlds famous pictures.
Most noted Of these, probably, is the "1SO7'
of Meissonier and next to it the "Horse
Fair" Of Rosa Bonheur: but scarcely less
noted are the "Holy Family" of Knaus, the
"Champigny" Of Detaille, the Triumph of
Germanicus" of Piloty, lies Deux Van de
Veldes" of Meissonier and the remarkable
old painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, "Por-
traits of the Hon. Henry Fame and His
Guardians, lingo Jones and Charles Blair"
The chief attraction now is the grand be-
quest OF Miss Catherine Lorillard Wolfe
142 pictures, nearly all by the greatest for
eign masters and all selected by herself with
unusual good taste and artistic discrimina-
ton She not only gave the paintings, but
added 100000 as fund for their preserva-
ton and for additions What is Of equal
value, perhaps, she has set an example sure
to be followed by other wealthy art collec-
tors, assuring grand future for the museum
Her pictures are all of a kind denoting re-
finement and tenderness in the chooser
Children and flowers, beautiful women and
sunit vistas were the subjects that
she loved. Even where she has de-
parted from the merely beautiful she has
